Always hunt on the way back to the vehicle

 After a solid hour of chasing I got bored and was ready to call it. This is the 9th team squirrel, 7th for Cisco. It took five hunts, six outings, and about seven hunting hours since squirrel #6... That was 11/23 and he had been deadly for a week or two previously. Cisco was getting his ass beat over and over again today.  But one of my maxims is always hunt on your way back to the car. I was bored and ready to call it good. Cisco knocked this rascal off the tree fell right on top of it.

The one good thing about Red-tails and the fact that they're generally lazy is that flights like that actually mean something. A Harris's Hawk might go back and forth two or three times for nothing.

I spent a whole hour out in the woods with him, boring yes, but worth the effort. He got decent exercise. His high weight and the warm weather took away a lot of his motivation, and he flew overhead once or twice croaking slightly. That is an indication that he's not really looking for squirrels, he's in the tidbit mode.   This picture was ...
